I have been using H&R Tax Cut just about since it came out. Easy to import tax information from the previous year, just walks you through every step. This year though, after doing my taxes, and 100% accuracy review, the program kept telling me that I had an elevated audit risk, and the listed reasons did not apply at all. Seeing that in red made me go back through four more times, and I could not find anything wrong. I could not find any online support, and I didn't want to call and start all over on the phone or go into an office. Since none of the situations listed applied, I won't worry about it, because H&R block offers audit support.
I have been using H&R Block's tax software for more years than I can remember. If there is an easier or more accurate way to prepare and file your taxes, I cannot imagine it. I have now turned my adult children to H&R Block software users, and was proud to see them doing their own returns this year instead of relying on non-CPA dad. Thanks, Block, for making it so easy.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I actually purchased this software back in November and finally got around to using it in the past month ((March). It went fast with no problems that were not self imposed. THANKS !!!
Pretty straight forward software that ask a bunch of questions you probably wouldn't think of on your own, with 'learn more' tips to give additional explanations of sections. It is pretty clear about what information it is looking for so you don't really feel lost. I bought this instead of paying and additional $10 for TurboTax which I was planning on buying. This definitely seemed to get the job done.
